        My father was liberated at Buchenwald Concentration Camp, along with thousands, by Patton's troops. I attended the 50th Anniversary in Weimar. I was honored to meet so many men of this greatest generation. We cried together.

        Is that the current Oval Office? I remember that Truman vacated WH for a time for renovations. Curious when the Oval Office was built and added to the WH?

        Yes this current configuration of the office dates to the mid 1930s with FDR after a fire in the Hoover administration..but the origin of a separate office/work/family space can probably be traced back to Teddy Roosevelt..

        Temporary celebration for sure. Thousands of Marines and Navy personnel were losing their lives at Okinawa during this time. He was truly a great leader.

        Remember my mom talking about riding around the small town where she lived honking the horn on this day. My dad was in the army.
